Is there a Benihana's-type restaurant in BKK?

[dummy_plug]

Did a little searching, but didn't find anything conclusive. For those who aren't familiar, its a teppanyaki restaurant where the chef cooks the meal in front of you.

To clarify, I know there is a Benihana's in the BKK Marriott resort, but I'm wondering if there is another one similar restaurant.

Thanks!

why would you want that anyway when you can get real japanese cooking? not westernised style?

Eh, its more for the experience (fairly unique, I don't know many places where they do something like that) and not for the actual food, although, I've never had a bad meal there. Personally, I like it haha, but what did you expect?

The JW Marriot Hotel (opposite the old Guess Bar) has a Teppanyaki Restaurant called NAMI.

Here's a link to a review;

DP, a few other options:

Grand Teppanyaki

Maru Teppanyaki


Haven't been to these places myself as my companion of choice does not eat beef.

I'll see if I can find some reviews, so thanks for the leads. My friend doesn't eat beef either, but usually these places have a lot of chicken and seafood dishes. I figure its something kind of unique and fun to do once.

And thanks for everyone else who responded too!

It seems to me that I remember seeing a Benihana's at Siam Square near the Outback Steak House. I know that there is a Benihana's at the mall in Pattaya that has the Ripley's Museum (my memory fails me as to te name of the mall).

Nami at the JW Marriott in Soi 2 is a total copy of a Benihana Restaurant without the royalty fees. Seriously its totally the same and I have eaten there many time. Its in the basement of the hotel and actually the food at this place is better and of a higher standard than bog standard Benihanas

Maybe its closed down now cuz its not listed on the Benihana's website. Ah, that's too bad. Thanks for the tip though.

Mardhi - thanks for the heads up. This is a lot closer to where I'll be staying so I might just check it out. May even bump into you there!
